Mon 6th June: Bold Tendencies

Last Tuesday I got to see the sunset from a very different perspective than my usual North London vantage, infact it was the polar opposite from Peckham. Gallerist Hannah Barry has curated a sculpture exhibition on the roof of a multi-storey car park. The works are site specific and a few employ the use of the sunlight that directly hits the space. Here are Sam Nia's live-edge screen-printed perspex sculptures which seem to change colour as you walk around each facet. Once the sun has disappeared behind the London Eye, the sculptures light up and take on another glowing dimension.

The show is on till Sept 30th so make time to get in the elevator to the top floor of this NCP to check out the next generation of sculpture................

Its A London Thing

My book out on September 19th

'Multi-talented Fred Butler is quite the east London renaissance girl, with fingers in so many creative pies that they're difficult to tick off.

Of course, there are the splendidly exuberant accessories, wearable sculptures whose sparkle has attracted fashion magpies such as Gaga, Bjork and Nicki Minaj. But there is also custom made prop styling, art directing and film making.
